I said earlier today that there is so much bad news lately that I just want to retreat to my bed with a pillow over my head!

There is so much bad stuff in the news that I feel overwhelmed, and wondering if there is any way possible that I can make any difference at all, if there is any way for any of us to reverse the awfulness. It makes me nervous, tense and cranky, to the point that I don’t like the way I feel, or how I feel about other people. You may have noticed that my sense of humor has definitely suffered lately (Sorry.)

It occurred to me that if I would concentrate on finding some good news every day, I would feel a bit better, and maybe sharing it with you will make you feel a little better too.

This was found on Facebook (posted by our friend, Menagerie) and seems like good information to share.

As an Optometrist , I want to express concern that I have about the solar eclipse on Monday, Aug 21. There are serious risks associated with viewing a solar eclipse directly, even with the use of solar filter glasses. Everyone should keep in mind if they or their children are considering this.
